I felt a draft in the house, and had a hard time isolating it. This device helped find it quickly. You set the temperature parameters, and the projected light changes colors to let you know when the parameters are exceeded. Very easy to use, a Caveman could do it!

I was not expecting very much from this tool but I was pleasantly surprised! While I was aware of some cold intrusion spots in my home, I was surprised to find some that weren't so obvious. A North facing window that I thought was airtight was not so airtight and this tool showed me where the cold air was coming in!

I also found another not so common use for this thing as well. I was having some stability issues with my desktop computer so I opened it up and took some temperature readings of various parts of the motherboard. I found that the cooling fans were not reaching some parts of the motherboard and causing overheating problems resulting in stability issues. Just another surprising use for this tool! I'm sure I'll find some more uses for thiss tool around the house and workshop!!

I use this to check for air leaks around most any wall penetration, like doors windows,electrical outlets, dryer vents,etc. Also good for checking air conditioner and heat pump performance.It is also useful for some automotive diagnostics. The down side is that maximum temperature is limited to under 400 degrees Fahrenheit, preventing it's use for many more applications. For the price it is a good tool to own.
